Strokes and Head Injuries: A Guide for Patients, Families, Friends and Carers: Guide for Patients, Relatives, Friends and Carers - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Written for lay people, this book offers optimism and hope to people with brain damage and those who look after them. The authors describe the patient's possible handicaps in order to show how they can be overcome. They explain what strokes and head injuries are, who the victims may be and why, what the patient feels and can expect to feel in the future, how carers can help, and how patients can help themselves. The recovery stages are described, with practical advice on how everyone involved can help make the best of each situation. The underlying concepts are based on the most up-to-date expertise available in the rehabilitation of brain-damaged patients. The book should therefore appeal to students and professionals alike working in this field, including physiotherapists, occupational therapists, social workers, nurses and doctors.
